Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is Roundtable.
It starts with a scratchy throat on a Monday morning.
By lunchtime, your body aches, your head feels heavy,
and you're debating whether it's just a cold or something more.
The hospital is crowded, your schedule is full, and online ads promise its answers.
From ad-home flu tests to something called a liquid mask.
In 2025, we navigate health choices in China differently.
And on this Friday, we wish to, as always brighten your day with something that has made us happy.
In Roundtable's happy place,
we share what's been bringing us joy in hopes that it inspires you to find the little moments of happiness in your own life as well.
But now.
Flu season comes every year,
and rising cases have many people looking for quick ways to protect themselves.
These days, at-home rapid tests are flying off the shelves,
and liquid masks are catching eyes online.
Some of these tools may actually help, while others are more experimental.
Today,
we'll explore what's out there and give you some tips to get through the season healthy and smart.
So, what is happening during this year's flu season?
